Security Management Solutions for IT Operations

IT Operations groups are faced with the unenviable task of understanding what IT assets are in the network, ensuring the availability and bandwidth of enterprise IT assets, responding to the impact of network and system breaches, managing software and hardware inventories and configurations and managing employee access to different assets and data throughout the enterprise. Vulnerabilities are exposed and targeted on a daily basis - many of which must be addressed immediately. And without proper security management solutions, end users can easily install and run applications that can negatively impact the integrity and stability of network endpoints.

Consider that IT Operations must manage and respond to a whole host of issues, such as:

Thirteen vulnerabilities are identified each day¹

Mis-configured endpoints are the root cause for 60% of all exploited vulnerabilities²

The speed at which hackers are identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities through the use of automation

The amount of unlicensed software that is used throughout the enterprise - 27% of all software on business computers is unlicensed³

Laptops and desktops that must be rebuilt due to malware and configuration issues – 85% of corporate machines are rebuilt each year4

Network disruptions or outages – the average enterprise downtime is 23 person days with average time to achieve full recovery at 31 person days4

Through comprehensive scanning of all network devices and endpoints, Lumension’s security management solutions deliver IT Operations groups with actionable information of their IT environments by discovering and inventorying all assets, providing accurate assessments of software vulnerabilities and configuration issues and prioritizing identified threats for orderly remediation.
